This Side of Brightness

I sewed it up
Stiched all these dead end streets
Into the sewn up seams of
My heartstrings unwind
Unwound like a petal pulled from an open flower surrounded
By fields where children sigh
But don't make a sound

And don't break it off
This searching for
We'll never find
And that says it all
I hope that we
Will make it through

The heartbreak that comes
With just living through one day
All the good times that pass
All the friends we lose
In a lifetime on our way

Here in this life
We seem so lost
On this side of brightness
We don't know where to

Break it off
This searching for
We'll never find
And that says it all
I hope that we
Will make it through
This night
